Now before the critics jump in and argue that most products sold here are likely produced through slave labor and that Wal Mart is just "playing the game"....that simply isn't the case. Wal Mart systematically:
- eliminates competition, in some cases ridding a city of 3 jobs for every person it employs
- manipulates the world market to the point that it has a greater capital share than many countries
- Utilizes government subsidies, which cost American tax payers over 1 billion dollars in medicaid to support its under-paid employees. That starkly contrasts the fact that the company has more capital and assets than many countries around the world, such as Saudi Arabia for example
- Manipulating the media and infringing upon free speech
- Preventing labor unionization
- Intimidating and harassing its employees
- Discriminating its labor force through unfair and non-arbitrary hiring processes
- Forcing ma and pa stores out of business, unable to compete with their under-paid and under-privileged sweatshops where most of their products are distributed
- Subjecting people in third world countries to working for less than 15 cents an hour
- Eating babies
WATCH THE MOVIE!!!
